Funk Bomb

Funk Bomb is a sativa-dominant hybrid developed by Phylos Bioscience through crossing Grape Pie #2 with Gorilla Diesel #3. Engineered specifically as a production-ready photosensitive seed line, this cultivar is designed to deliver commercial batch uniformity, exceptional resin output, and an assertive chemical bouquet. Despite its sativa-leaning heritage, the plant displays a compact, low-stretch growth habit that simplifies canopy management.

Targeted for high potency, Funk Bomb consistently reaches total THC levels between 26% and 30%. Its complex terpene profile blends pungent fuel, skunky citrus, and sweet grape notes, yielding an uplifting, cerebral experience that enhances daytime activities and social settings without inducing physical heaviness.

Origin and Genetics

Funk Bomb was created in Portland, Oregon, by Phylos Bioscience. The cultivar was engineered by crossing Grape Pie #2 and Gorilla Diesel #3, intentionally bred to combine high-yielding resin traits with exceptional seed-line uniformity. As a sativa-dominant hybrid, it defies standard sativa morphological expectations by maintaining a remarkably compact stature while preserving an energetic, cerebral chemical profile.

Cannabinoid and Terpene Profile

According to breeder documentation, Funk Bomb is optimized for a target total THC concentration of 28% (±2%), with flower typically testing between 26% and 30% THC. The cultivar features a robust total terpene content averaging around 2.6%. Its terpene profile is led by beta-myrcene, limonene, and alpha-pinene, supported by linalool, beta-pinene, and beta-caryophyllene, creating a potent synergy of sharp aromatic compounds.

Aroma and Flavor

True to its name, Funk Bomb delivers an intense and complex aroma characterized by sharp diesel fuel, skunky earth, and bright citrus peel, rounded out by subtle floral and grape undertones. On the palate, the smoke or vapor translates into a pungent combination of zesty citrus and sour gas, finishing with a lingering skunky and sweet fruit aftertaste.

Reported Effects

Community and breeder reports describe Funk Bomb as delivering an intensely euphoric and uplifting experience. The effect onset brings focused mental clarity, creative energy, and a joyful, talkative mood. Because it provides cerebral stimulation without heavy body sedation, it is commonly selected for daytime productivity, creative pursuits, and social gatherings.

Reported Therapeutic Uses

In dispensary and consumer reports, Funk Bomb is frequently noted for daytime relief from stress, mental fatigue, and low mood or depression. It is important to emphasize that these community-reported observations do not constitute clinical evidence or establish that Funk Bomb can cure, treat, or prevent any medical condition.

Cultivation Characteristics

Funk Bomb was specifically developed for straightforward production in indoor, greenhouse, and full-season outdoor environments. The plants exhibit a short plant height with low stretch, creating an even, manageable canopy that responds well to standard crop management techniques. Flowering is notably fast for a sativa-dominant variety, finishing in just 49 to 56 days (7 to 8 weeks). Indoor yields are strong, documented at 63 to 83 grams per square foot. The dense, trichome-laden flower clusters hold uniform structure and are well suited for both hand and machine trimming.

Appearance and Phenotypes

Flowers of Funk Bomb develop into dense, resin-encrusted green clusters adorned with vibrant orange and amber pistils. Grown from Phylos production-ready seed lines, the cultivar exhibits high phenotypic stability, consistently producing heavily frosted buds with a tight, uniform calyx structure and an unmistakable fuel-forward profile.
